Cycling

Travelling by bicycle

Cycling is a great option for getting to the University. If you
want to keep updated on what we are doing to encourage cycling at
UWE Bristol and join the conversation then sign-up to the Bike User
Group (BUG) by emailing Travel plan at travel.plan@uwe.ac.uk.

UWE Bristol has benefited enormously from the recent investment
in largely traffic free cycle routes that criss-cross the city.

Facilities for cyclists

See the
Frenchay Campus area map for locations of cycle parking,
lockers, showers and drying areas. Showers and bike parks are also
available at Glenside Campus and City Campus at Bower Ashton. There
are continuing plans to improve and increase the number of cycling
facilities at all campuses.

On Frenchay Campus Taylored Cycles offer cycle
maintenance at reasonable prices every Tuesday in term time from
outside P and Q block (by the Cycle Station).

Emergency repair kits can be found at various locations
including the Octagon, Glenside Reception, Bower Ashton Info Point
and the first floor of Northavon House. There are also public
bike pumps and tool stations across the three main
campuses.
